‘Starting’ begins casting call tour

Short Take

“Starting Over,” the new daytime reality strip from “Real World” exec producers Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jonathan Murray and NBC Enterprises, has initiated a nationwide casting call tour. Ideal candidates for the show will be women over 18 who are currently facing one or more life situations they’d rather get out of. Skein’s inaugural run shoots this summer in Chicago.

Considering the daily drama and merger strain in the entertainment biz, producers note that industryites are more than welcome to apply. For casting information, visit www.startingovertv.com.
